Blissful moments in the family sangeet celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant consumed the space with national pride and excitement when chairperson Nita Ambani called the T20 World Cup-winning heroes to the stage for a standing ovation. As the emcee introduced Captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, there erupted applause. The standing ovation was taken collectively by the audience comprising family, friends, and other high-end guests.
Amid this, one could see Nita Ambani, clapping and cheering with tears in her eyes. Emotionally charged, she personally connected the win by stating that all these cricketing legends were part of her Mumbai Indians family. She narrated the last moments of WC, saying that the collective anxiety and ultimate jubilation of this nation was just incredible as India wrested victory from the jaws of defeat in that nail-biting last over.
While reflecting upon Hardik Pandya’s journey, Nita Ambani firmly said, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do,” recording their spirit of resilience.
